This 2-bedroom cottage is a traditional two-floor home in Kington, Herefordshire, sitting in the Welsh Marches just 2 miles from the town centre. Three wood-burning stoves including one set in an inglenook fireplace make this a genuinely cosy base. The setting is rolling countryside with wooded valleys and green fields all around.

The area is perfect for walking. Offa's Dyke Path and the Mortimer Trail are both accessible directly from the cottage. Hergest Ridge is 6 miles away. The front of the property has a shallow stream great for paddling and the rear opens into an orchard.

The cottage sleeps four across two bedrooms. The master bedroom is king-size and the second bedroom is a twin convertible to a super-king. Two bathrooms serve the property: a ground-floor Jack-and-Jill bathroom with bath and WC and an upstairs bathroom with bath, mixer shower and heated towel rail.

Hergest Croft Gardens (3 miles) and Small Breeds Farm Park & Owl Centre are both close by. Kington High Street with independent shops and pubs is just 2 miles away.

This rental suits couples or small families wanting a quiet countryside base with real character. Two dogs are welcome. Book it for the walks, the woodburners and the orchard.
